The Common Madness and Idiocy of Civilization. Telling Indictments and Perinatal Futility. A Cartoonish-Like Idiocy Arising. “…in fantasy, one overcomes the horror. It is as if one continues using familiar Ego techniques — hero’s journey methods, dragon-slaying methods, like the hero did in his daydreams — for dealing with material on a deeper level where they no longer work — where they are in fact counterproductive.” “…such “heroes,” in reality, are doomed.” “In not facing one’s problems and those impinging on us all from society and the environment, one retreats into fantasy and fairy tale … and their institutional embodiment, religion.” “This is the common madness of civilization … as well as its idiocy. Unable to actually feel one’s self — to actually feel emotions and real feelings — one comes up with a matrix of substitute satisfactions built on mythical and fantasy foundations.” https://facebook/notes/michael-adzema/the-common-madness-and-idiocy-of-civilization-telling-indictments-and-perinatal-/10152523120848138?comment_id=10152523644033138&offset=0&total_comments=1
